I really want to curl my hair, but my hair won't curl. Curling irons just straighten it, and hot rollers provide curls bigger than what I'm looking for, plus they hurt my head. I haven't tried sponge rollers in a while, but I don't believe they would work well, plus I don't really have time for them. Is there anything I can do?

French braid your hair hair spray it then let it out take a pencil and wrap a piece of hair around it the take the pencil out but still hold your hair then hairspray that then that should give curls.

I've tried hairspraying it first and it didn't work.

I'll try that! Thanks!

Use some texturing Spray. There are lots of different texturing products but I think spray works best. Also, one of the most overlooked but effective ways of getting curl to stay in your hair is to curl it and then use hair clips to hold each curl up (curled), spray with some hairspray, let cool for maybe five mins, then take out clips. This is what many professional hair stylists do when they need a curl to stay without falling. I've tried it and it really does work wonders. These are the clips I'm talking about :

The clips are super cheap (like a few bucks for ten of them, but buy twenty bc I learned I often need like 12 for my whole head - go figure).

Well my hair is naturally curly, and I don't like tiny curls, I like medium curls. So what I do is when I get out of the shower I part my hair how I want it and then section it so half is on one shoulder and the other half on the other, then I just start tightly twisting each thing of hair and then I tie the bottoms with a hair tie and pin them to my head so they don't unravel, you could also just blow dry them if your in a hurry.  http://youtu.be/o43Z38-xo-4.

Try pin curls. They seem to work on the most hard to curl hair. And if you really need more hold you can use a gel or a setting lotion before you curl the hair.
